In some cases, one could hope that the purpose of the penal system is to reform the offender. But a lot of the time is purely for behavior shaping purposes.

Actually, *I'm* looking for a suitable punishment for people who say things like "I know I'm talking out my ass and this is real stupid but blah blah blah blah...." in a public forum.

If you *are* talking out your ass and it *is* really stupid, why post it?
